A birthday treat -Tilden Little Farm

Last Saturday, we went to Tilden Nature Park.

Of course, the only attraction that is of interest to her is the little farm in the park.

Daddy and mommy know our little girl very well. She gets very excited when she sees animals, so this is our birthday treat for our little girl whose birthday is coming in one week's time.

Sheri: Moo! Moo!

Sheri: Baa! Baa!

Sheri: Hello! Goat!

Our little girl gets very excited when she sees animals. Throughout the visit, she was scampering around the farm trying to take a closer look at the animals. We had to keep a close eye on her as we were afraid that she might get too close to the animals



We saw the goats head butting each other just like daddy and Sheri who like to head butt each other too.
Our little girl has always been reading books about animals, so she could recognize the names of animals that are printed on the information board.

Rabbit is our little girl's favourite animal.

Frankly, this was the first time that mommy and daddy saw a live turkey.

Our little girl wanted to pet a hen that was wandering around in the farm, but it was not easy. She followed the hen for quite awhile before she could finally lay her hands on it.


Finally, her perseverance was paid off.



We also visited the Environmental Education Centre beside the Little Farm. It provides information about the wide variety of plants and animals in Tilden Nature Park. We were impressed by the layout and the condition in which the exhibits were kept in the Education Centre.

Our little girl has always been an avid reader. However much she has read about farm animals, nothing beats the real experience. This trip provides an excellent opportunity for our little girl to come close to the farm animals that she has read about in the books.
